The Nano-View™ is a fully integrated positioning system for use with inverted optical microscopes that offers long range linear positioning in two dimensions, combined with a high resolution three axis nanopositioner. The Nano-View™ is comprised of a motor driven two axis linear motion stage and a Nano-LP-series nanopositioning system. The micropositioning stage offers up to 1.6" travel per axis and 20 nm resolution. Encoders are integrated into the positioning system to enable accurate tracking of position.

The Nano-LP-series are high precision nanopositioning systems with the lowest profile commercially available. Travel ranges extend up to 200 microns per axis (X and Y) and 100 microns (Z) with subnanometer resolution under closed loop control. As with all Mad City Labs, Inc. nanopositioning systems they are designed for minimum parasitic motion and feature integrated sensors for absolute position measurement.

The Nano-View™ is designed to be controlled by standard National Instruments control boards and is fully compatible with user written LabView™ software, offering greater flexibility.

The Nano-View™ is the complete nanometer scale positioning system for single molecule spectroscopy and high resolution microscopy and nanometer scale lithography applications.

The Nano-Align is a unique multi-axis nanopositioning system with sub-nanometer accuracy available with three, four or five axes of motion. The low profile design of the Nano-Align allows it to be easily integrated into existing instrumentation, e.g. microscopes, probe assemblies. With an extended range of motion in Z, the Nano-Align is ideal for demanding applications which require long range travel, sub-nanometer accuracy and three dimensions of motion. In addition, the Nano-Align has 1.2 mrad of tip/tilt in qx, qy with sub-microradian resolution. The Nano-Align includes piezoresistive sensors for absolute position measurement and sub-nanometer/sub-microradian accuracy under closed loop feedback control. The range of motion is 100 µm in x and y and 50 µm in z, all under closed loop control. Delivery time is 30 - 45 days for the standard configuration.

The Nano-Drive™ is the complete electronic package for subnanometer positioning. The Nano-Drive™ includes a low noise, low drift amplifier, position sensing circuitry, bandwidth selection, and closed loop feedback. The Nano-Drive™ is offered with either an analog or digital interface and available in one, two, or three axis versions.

The control loop bandwidth can be selected manually for 3 settings 200 Hz, 50 Hz or 5 Hz. We offer a digital bandwidth option for digital control. A front panel BNC is used for the analog input. The sensor position signal (BNC) and High voltage output (BNC) signal divided by 10 are also available on the front panel.

In the standard configuration, the Proportional-Integral feedback and sensor circuits are configured so that a 0V input corresponds to zero displacement and a 10V input corresponds to the maximum displacement. Closed loop feedback ensures that the displacement, as a function of input voltage, is highly linear and repeatable. The closed loop feedback system also eliminates the positioning errors due to creep and hysteresis in the piezoactuator. Input voltage range options are also available (call).

The front panel size for a single axis Nano-Drive™ is a standard 19" half rack (3.5" x8.4") and the front panel size for the two and three axis versions is a standard 19" full rack.
